August 21, 2007 Library of Congress Announces 2007-2008 Concert Season

The Library of Congress presents a dazzling concert roster in its 82nd season, with 40 superb chamber music, jazz, country, pop, rock and roll and world music events. Unveiling a gallery of composer portraits, from Carlos Chavez and Silvestre Revueltas to Fred Hersch, the historic free series showcases new music across the American soundscape. Seven of the world’s leading chamber orchestras, period and contemporary, give concertgoers the chance to hear a Haydn symphony, a Mozart concerto—plus contemporary works by composers like Harrison Birtwistle, Alfred Schnittke, Aphex Twin and The Shaggs—in the extraordinary acoustics of the Coolidge Auditorium. Wrapping up the season is a tapfest tribute to the famous American tapper William “Bojangles” Robinson. October turns a spotlight on new composition, with two Library of Congress commissions kicking off the season. The Del Sol Quartet offers the world premiere performance of a work by Cambodian-American composer Chinary Ung, along with a conversation with the composer. Also, the Imani Winds unwrap Wayne Shorter’s “Terra Incognita,” commissioned by the Library of Congress, Krannert Center for the Performing Arts, La Jolla Music Society and Da Camera of Houston. The New York-based new music group Alarm Will Sound, a 20-member ensemble with a virtuosic command of 20th century style, celebrates Founder’s Day at the Library on October 30. Launching on Oct. 1, the distinguished “Concerts from the Library of Congress” radio series returns to the air nationwide. Bill McGlaughlin, creator of the Peabody Award-winning program “Saint Paul Sunday Morning,” is the host. Co-produced by the Library of Congress, CD Syndications and WETA-FM 90.9, the 13-part series invites listeners to enter the Library’s world-class concert hall and its vast music collections—an unmatched archive of more than 22 million items—with hour-long programs accompanied by companion Web packages. Composer portraits are a central theme for the season. A weeklong mini-festival presents “Two Faces of Mexican Music: Carlos Chávez and Silvestre Revueltas Revisited,” with film screenings, a scholarly symposium and a trio of concerts by three critically acclaimed ensembles. The Post-Classical Ensemble, known for thoughtful and provocative programming, the Cuarteto Latinoamericano and Camerata Bariloche explore the work of conductor, composer and cultural missionary Chávez and his mercurial contemporary Revueltas. Project partners are the Library’s Music, Hispanic and Rare Book and Special Collections divisions, along with the Mexican Cultural Institute and the National Gallery of Art. The Library’s celebration of the MacDowell Colony Centennial concludes with two concerts featuring composers who have been fellows at the artists’ colony, including Aaron Copland, Irving Fine, Amy Beach and Fred Hersch. A major exhibition, “A Century of Creativity: The MacDowell Colony 1907-2007,” can be viewed online at www.loc.gov/exhibits/macdowell/.
